Mustard Campari

Ultra-fast production of vitamin-rich greens

The 'Campari' mustard variety is an optimal choice for producers specializing in microgreens and early-season greens in protected soil. Developed by the Russian Institute of Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production (VNIISSOK), this variety is engineered for rapid commercial yields. Just 7–14 days after emergence, the plants form a full, tender rosette of leaves, ready for harvesting and market distribution.

Practical use in agribusiness

• Microgreens: Due to its ultra-short production cycle, 'Campari' is perfectly suited for continuous cropping in vertical farms and greenhouse facilities, allowing for up to 25 harvests per year from the same growing area.
• Crop rotation: The variety fits seamlessly as an intermediate crop to optimize field usage or as an intercropping solution to maximize space efficiency with main vegetable crops.
• Fresh market: Its tender flavor and high growth velocity enable producers to supply the retail and HoReCa sectors with fresh greens during the off-season.

The crop is adaptable to various lighting conditions, provided that substrate moisture is kept stable to ensure consistent product quality. In intensive growing systems, 'Campari' displays excellent uniformity, which is vital for mechanized harvesting of microgreens. By eliminating the need for a long vegetative period, the variety significantly reduces energy and fertilizer costs, positioning it as a high-ROI tool for rapid capital turnover in the agricultural sector.
